Chapter 465: Star Soldiers Win a Major Victory Over the Zerg, Heading for the Zerg Homeworld

This battle lasted a full three days and three nights.

Following the Blade Empress's order, some outer forces of the Zerg still launched an attack, beginning to delay the human army.

On the surface, the Zerg offensive showed no sign of weakening.

These lowly, mindless bugs are merely cannon fodder; even powerful thunder beasts are no exception.

But the core Zerg queens have all boarded the Leviathan battleship, and the Blade Empress no longer intends to continue fighting.

These star soldier tin cans are incredibly tough, they can fight, endure, and be produced in great numbers!

What the hell! How did that bastard Mengsk get the means to produce these super soldiers? Moreover, these star soldiers seem designed specifically against the Zerg, with powerful regenerative abilities and flame-burning capabilities, making them the most terrifying weapons to the Zerg.

This is a powerful biological weapon developed specifically to counter them, and the Blade Empress finally knows what Mengsk's trump card is.

Unfortunately, she has no counter to it, so the only option now is to retreat.

"This time you won, Raynor, but next time you won't be so lucky. Once I restore you, I'll beat you into a pig's head." The High Score Empress let out a cold snort after all the high-ranking Zerg queens entered the Leviathan mother hold.

They directly activated the Leviathan battleship's fold function, leaving Char, while these swarm queen bugs still existed.

Then the Zerg lineage would not die out; they could hatch some larvae at any time, needing only a few days to hatch a Zerg army.

More importantly, Kerrigan now has a stellar energy extraction container; with this, her kin need not worry about energy, as long as there is a star, they can extract sufficient energy.

She could produce the Zerg army faster than before, but the most critical problem still arose.

If Mengsk could mass-produce these star soldiers, then he would mass-produce these powerful star soldiers.

Her Zerg troops, no matter how numerous, when faced with these swarms of tin cans...

The vast numbers of Zerg seemed unable to form a great deterrent, and these guys' stamina and endurance were outrageously strong.

From the start of the battle to now, lasting three days and three nights, the human support troops could no longer endure and needed rest, but these tin cans remained full of energy, still fighting.

Only when they saw that huge Leviathan battleship withdrawing in the sky did the human legion realize the Blade Empress had fled.

"Look, up there, the Leviathan battleship in the sky has flown off, Blade Empress, Blade Empress has retreated."

"Blade Empress has run! Those damn bugs have run! We, we have won!"

"God bless us, we have gained the ultimate victory in this war, we have won."

"Now is not the time to let down our guard; the bugs on the ground have not been completely cleared! Warriors, continue the attack, kill all these Zerg, completely liberate this planet!"

"Let this become our humans' new colony." Jim Raynor raised the chainsaw sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Liberate this planet, expand our humans' new frontier, liberate this planet!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Exterminate these damn bugs! Exterminate these stinking bugs!"

Facing the fleeing Leviathan battleship, the human cruisers did not launch pursuit, because for this mission they had received the order to retake Char.

Moreover, such a huge Leviathan battleship, the cruiser before him was like a small kafel.

Even an ordinary Leviathan battleship is much larger than a human cruiser, let alone this super Leviathan, which from afar looks like a planet.

Such a massive behemoth—who knows what special weapons it might carry?

"Commander, might the flagship that the Blade Empress is riding have any special planetary attack weapons, even ones capable of destroying the entire planet?" A deputy came up to Jim Raynor and asked.

"If she were going to attack, she would have done so already; she probably doesn't have that weapon, but we should still have the soldiers prepare."

"If a large energy buildup is detected in the sky, everyone should immediately board their ships and flee this planet." Jim Raynor said.

Although he now serves the Empire, his memory is still that of Jim Raynor; he remembers everything that happened between him and the Blade Empress.

Thus he knows her quite well and can accurately infer what she intends to do.

As long as he remains alive and on this planet, the Blade Empress Sarah Kerrigan will absolutely not launch an attack to destroy this planet.

No matter what, she won't let him die; this situation will only cause the Blade Empress Sarah Kerrigan's anger toward Mengsk to reach its peak.

But to ensure the safety of all human personnel, Jim Raynor still ordered all personnel to be cautious and had a dozen or so cruisers on standby, with all return landing craft also on standby.

Only when the cruisers in the sky spotted the Leviathan battleship departing via spatial fold did he breathe a sigh of relief and formally take control of Char.

"Report to all humanity, the star soldier army has completely taken down the Zerg forces on Char."

"This time it was not a sneak attack; it was an open, frontal defeat of the Zerg, the first time we have defeated them head-on."

The entire human world was jubilant, everyone celebrating this great victory! Jim Raynor took off his powered armor, returned to his quarters, having fought continuously for several days and nights; even his enhanced body was somewhat fatigued, so he decided to rest.

Looking at that extraordinarily strong body in the mirror, Jim Raynor suddenly felt it was unreal.

Is this really his body? So powerful, so full of beauty, so full of strength, this body possesses unimaginable power.

During the fight against the Zerg, he only felt a little mental fatigue, but this body had none of that fatigue.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Just then, the communicator in Jim Raynor's room suddenly rang, a mysterious signal came through, bearing a code he knew all too well.

It was a special mark from the Rangers that Jim Raynor had founded, an organization that exists to overthrow the Empire's rule.

Jim Raynor stepped forward and pressed the communicator button.

"My goodness, Jim, is it really you? You've finally received our signal; only after you left the Empire did we dare to send you a communication.

"What on earth happened? What happened to you? Why are you like this?" A man's face appeared on the virtual screen; upon seeing Jim Raynor, he anxiously asked.

The man before him was both familiar and strange; Jim Raynor clearly remembered all their past interactions, the jokes they shared, and the dirty talk.

Yet in his heart, he felt indifferent toward this guy; even the man's life or death meant nothing to Jim Raynor.

"I remember you, Matt! I remember everything we did together, messing around, and I remember the days I fought alongside the Rangers brothers." Jim Raynor said.

"Good grief, I knew it, I knew it! Raynor, what the hell is wrong with you? What's going on?"

"What did Mengsk do to you? Why? Why has your physique become like this? You now look like a giant." Matt looked at Jim Raynor on the virtual screen, saying admiringly.

Jim Raynor's body now looked incredibly muscular, muscles bulging everywhere, his strength at its peak, one arm even thicker than his waist. "I accepted the Star Soldier Program, became a powerful star soldier, gained unimaginable power, and serve the Empire." Jim Raynor said without hiding anything.

At this moment, he had already pressed the tracking button, intending to trace the signal source and then locate the rebels' position, which is why he was chatting with Matt like this.

"How can you serve the Empire? How can you serve Mengsk? I know, Jim, you must have been altered by them; they must have modified your brain, right?"

"I knew you'd run into trouble, it's fine, we'll save you." Matt looked at Jim Raynor in front of him and said.

"I'm doing great, if you're willing, I can also let you join the interstellar warriors' reforging plan."

After undergoing this reforging, your bodies will become ten or more times stronger than ordinary people, and you'll gain powerful self-healing abilities, endurance and strength unimaginable to normal people, most importantly, your lifespan will be greatly increased.

According to those scientists' estimates, my current body can probably live for 500 to 600 years." Jim Raynor said.

The interstellar warrior unit attracts so many people to come and participate, so many people come for the transformation.

Besides possessing unimaginable power and being able to gain a pivotal position in the empire, a very important reason is that it can greatly extend one's lifespan.

No one can resist this temptation, the temptation of life.

Even now, over half of the interstellar warriors are veterans in their fifties or sixties who have undergone the transformation.

These veterans, extremely rich in combat experience, after undergoing the transformation, more easily develop combat power, and their fighting style becomes even more cunning, far stronger than new recruits.

"I will never accept that kind of transformation. Look at you now—do you even still look like a human? Who has ever seen a human grow like that?" Matt said.

At that moment, a crew member responsible for connecting the communicator on the Heracles suddenly furrowed his brow, then tapped the screen and immediately shouted loudly.

"Commander Matt, boss, no! Jim Raynor, Jim Raynor is using some tracking method to track our position; we must cut off communications, otherwise our coordinates will be exposed soon." The communications officer sighed and said.

The once amiable scout squad leader Jim Raynor has become like this; they feel more heartbroken than anyone.

"Hah! Have you really become Mengsk's lackey?" Matt gave Jim Raynor a complex look and said.

"I don't serve Mengsk; I serve all of humanity, I serve the Terran Empire, humanity supreme, long live humanity." Jim Raynor said.

In his mind there is a voice that makes him temporarily loyal to Mengsk, but what it truly serves is the entirety of humanity, not any single individual.

If a single individual, say Mengsk, does something that harms all of humanity, Jim Raynor will without hesitation blow his brains out with a single shot.

"I understand, boss, I'll rescue you from Mengsk's hands." Matt said, then cut off the video call.

At this moment, aboard the Hyperion warship, there was utter silence; nobody spoke, everyone kept their heads down in silence.

"Alright, big guy, cheer up—I guarantee I'll rescue Commander Jim Raynor, and he'll return to being that commander who smokes and shoots the breeze with you.

rather than becoming the damned empire's interstellar warrior commander." Matt sighed and said to the crew inside the Heracles.

But deep down, Markte was filled with confusion; the boss had obviously accepted a very powerful surgical transformation.

He now looks so much not human that he's completely a giant; humans can undergo genetic modification, but can we really shrink a giant? At this moment, the Leviathan warship is hovering in a cosmic void, the Queen of Blades sitting on the ship, head bowed in deep thought, currently considering a crucial matter.

That is whether to accept Abathur's advice, undergo genetic modification again, and become the former Queen of Blades! The power displayed by Mengsk's Terran Empire now far exceeds my imagination; the current Zerg armies simply cannot oppose it.

If she wants to oppose this interstellar warrior unit, she must revert, become the former Queen of Blades again, to have any chance of victory.

But Jim Raynor endured great hardship, and I too endured great hardship, before we managed to break free from the Zerg bodies.

Do I really need to revert? Do I really need to become that Queen of Blades again?

But if I don't change back into the Blade Empress, how can I save Jim Raynor? How can I make him return to the former Jim Raynor?

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Just then, inside the Leviathan battleship, a hint of darkness suddenly flashed, and the entire room was covered by a mysterious dark power.

After the darkness dissipated, a stooped figure stood before Kerrigan; the visitor was none other than the Dark Templar Zeratul.

"How dare you appear before me! Who summoned you?" Sarah Kerrigan roared, leapt forward, and kicked Zeratul flying.

Then she pressed him to the ground, frantically waving her fists, relentlessly beating this Dark Templar.

"Cough cough! Assistant! Sarah Kerrigan, I am the one who brings you a warning.

"I have brought you a prophecy, a prophecy about your future destiny!" Zeratul sat up, then placed a hand on Sarah Kerrigan's forehead, beginning to transmit some images to him.

Their thoughts passed through countless star seas, then arrived upon an unfamiliar and primitive planet.

"Look, Kerrigan, this is your destiny, this is the Zerg Mother Zerus, where the most primitive Zerg slaughter, devour, and evolve one another here.

This place holds power beyond your imagination! If you can obtain the primal Zerg power here.

"You will be able to defeat your enemies, defeat all your enemies." After saying this, Zeratul released Sarah Kerrigan's head.

"Ah! Then can he help me defeat those so-called stellar warriors? Can he help me defeat Mengsk? Can he help me save Jim Raynor?" Sarah Kerrigan spoke.

"All the truth lies there! Go find it! This is the last time I will appear before you; from now on, I will never come again, never appear before you." After saying this, Zeratul slowly retreated into the shadows and then vanished.

In a concealed part of the Leviathan battleship, Luode also narrowed his eyes, watching everything before him.

The key figure I had been waiting for finally arrived; Zeratul brought Kerrigan the final fateful divergence, sending her to the place where she could truly undergo transformation, the Zerg planet.

"Great master, are you certain you want to send the Blade Empress there? To the Zerg homeworld? If she gains great power there, she might end up contending with you for control of the Zerg." Izsha looked at Luode and asked.

He really couldn't fathom why the new Zerg Overlord would do this; if the aim was to control Sarah Kerrigan.

The Overlord could easily do that, then remold her into his own Blade Empress, and have her utterly obey his commands.

"Why go through all the trouble to lure him to the Zerg homeworld? And is this protoss Dark Templar also summoned by the Overlord expert?" "It's normal if you don't understand; what I want is not to control an ordinary Sarah Kerrigan, or rather, I never intended to control him at all." Luode revealed a hint of a mysterious smile and spoke.

What I want is for him to grow into a super Xel'naga, become my true rival, and then help me comprehend the power of salvation.

Luode now has no need for these lowly combat forces; even if the entire Zerg defected, it would be utterly meaningless to him.

After meeting with Zeratul, Sarah Kerrigan's heart wavered a bit, and she decided to head to the abundant Mother Zerus to seek the primal Zerg's great power.

With the Blade Empress's order issued, the Zerg's Leviathan battleship set sail toward a distant unknown star sector.

After confirming that Sarah Kerrigan had gone to seek the primal Zerg's power, Luode here also employed spatial relocation, heading to the palace of the human Terran Empire.

According to the latest news transmitted from Mengsk, that old coot has successfully captured the hybrid back. (End of chapter)
